Team Yankee at Frontline Games On 8 October, ten enthusiastic players gathered at Frontline Games with one common goal in mind; win the Charlie’s Chieftain competition. While the contestants all had a strong Flames Of War background, this would be the first-time for most playing Team Yankee.

The scenario we choose to determine the winner was ‘The Last Battle of Tank 66’ as seen on page 107 of the Team Yankee rulebook. This pits a single M1 Abrams (Sean Bannon’s Alpha 66) against three Soviet T-72s. With the use of Battlefront’s Battlefield in a Box: Modern Road, we were quickly able to transform our World War Two table, bringing it into the Cold War era.

The scenario was playing several times with Jürgen Rohde maintaining an undefeated record across the course of the competition. When Jürgen’s M1 Abrams destroyed two T-72s that resulted in the third fleeing the battlefield, he was announced the winner and claimed the prize of the Charlie’s Chieftains army deal.

The Chieftain were then put to the test as five faced off against seven T-72s to get a feel of how they’d preform on the battlefield. This was our first Team Yankee event at Frontline Games but we’re sure that it will not be our last.  ~ The team at Frontline Games.
